Review summary

Pros: 

 

Very friendly staff, they seemed willing to help with a smile any time of the day or night.

 

There was a large amount of inclusive dining options, especially for lunch, even on an 8 day cruise, we were not able to sample them all.  We only did the buffet one time for lunch and never for dinner.  There were quite a bit of options that were not inclusive for dinner, but we found the menu option for the main dining room to be amazing, with some upscale options as well, such as escargot and frog legs.

 

Cons:

 

Very crowded, there was never enough space, if you were not waiting in line at least a half hour prior to the comedy shows, there would not be any seats left. 

 

The dining room was packed on the first night, it was about a 45 minute wait for a table, the wait time did lessen for later nights to 10 minutes.

The cabin was amazingly located very close to Lido deck where the breakfast buffet was located. Unfortunately, during deck parties, the noise in the cabin was very loud!
